Other Mid-Day Work. Each year, on or prior to September 30 a list of drivers to perform mid-day work will be constructed at each compound. Drivers shall be eligible for mid-day work provided their route schedule permits them to be available at the appropriate time. All eligible drivers at the compound may elect to be on the list. Available mid-day work shall be assigned on a daily basis to the following drivers in the order listed below:
1. Eight-hour drivers without a mid-day route segment or other assigned mid-day responsibility.
2. Five-hour drivers who elect to be on the mid-day work list, on a continuous rotation. In the event more drivers are needed than the number electing, drivers will be assigned on a rotating basis beginning with the least senior driver. The parties recognize that the assignment of specific trips to drivers on the mid-day work list shall include consideration of the available driver’s work schedule, and the number of trips during the school year assigned to each driver in category (2) above. Drivers will be notified of field trip assignment during the preceding week recognizing that special circumstances will require an occasional same-day assignment. Refusal of same-day trip assignments will not be grounds to skip the driver on the rotation list.
